Analysis of Weak Hadith in Nawawi's Collection

This document summarizes the opinions of several hadith scholars, including Sulayman al-Alwan and Abdullah as-Sa'd, on the authenticity of 12 hadiths from Imam an-Nawawi's collection of 40 hadiths. For many of the hadiths, both scholars found weaknesses in their chains of narration or textual variations that called their authenticity into question. However, they also noted that the meanings or messages conveyed in several of the weak hadiths were still considered sound. The scholars' analyses demonstrated the care and scrutiny with which hadith authenticity was evaluated.

Weak ahādīth from the forty ahādīth of an-Nawawi (‫ )رحمه الله‬:


 
Hadīth #12 : ("Part of the perfection of one's Islam is abandoning what doesn't concern him") 
Sulaymān Al-'Alwān and 'Abdullah As-Sa'd both stated that it is da'īf (weak) and what's correct
is it being mursal...and Ibn Rajab (‫ )رحمه الله‬said similiar.

Hadīth #18: ("Fear Allah wherever you may be, follow up an evil deed with a good one....")
As-Sa'd stated it is da'īf, as it is mursal, and that although the manuscripts differ as to whether
at-tirmidhi (‫ )رحمه الله‬graded it hasan or hasan sahīh, what's correct is hasan. Ibn Rajab said it
is far fetched that at-tirmidhi would have authenticated it.
ad-Dāraqutni (‫ )رحمه الله‬also viewed that it is mursal. 

Hadīth #19: ("O young man, I shall teach you some words...") 
There are two similiar narrations mentioned here by an-Nawawi, the main narration is sahīh,
and was authenticated by at-Tirmidhi, as for the second narration with a slightly different
wording, as-Sa'd stated that it is not sahīh.
 
Hadīth #27: ("Righteousness is good character...") 
 There are also two similiar narrations mentioned here by an-Nawawi, the first is sahīh,
collected by Muslim, as for the second narration ("you have come to ask about...") 
As-Sa'd stated there is da'f (weakness) in it.

Hadīth #29: ("Tell me of a deed that will take me to paradise....")


Ibn Rajab mentioned the defects in the chains for this hadith, and Al-'Alwān weakened them
as well. 
As-Sa'd stated: "it may be that it is strengthened when combining its different paths"

Hadīth #30: ("Allah ta'āla has prescribed certain duties so do not neglect them....")
Al 'Alwān stated: "it is disconnected but there is a good shāhid (supporting narration)"
As-Sa'd: "when combining its chains, it is strong and preserved."

Hadīth #31: ("...direct me to an act that, if I do it, Allah will love me and the people will love
me....")
Al-'Alwān: "it is not authentic even though it's meaning is correct"
As-Sa'd: " it is da'īf but its meaning is sound" 

Hadīth #32: ("There should neither be harming nor reciprocating harm") 


Al-'Alwan stated "it is not sahih, except in mursal form. Abu Dāwūd considered it to be among
the ahādīth which fiqh revolves around."
As-Sa'd: "its different chains strengthen eachother".

Hadīth #39: ("Allah has pardoned for me the mistakes of my ummah....")


Al-'Alwān: "Imam Ahmad rejected it, but it's meaning is correct."
As-Sa'd: "Da'īf, but it's meaning is correct."

Hadīth #41: (" None of you will be a believer until his inclination is....")
Al-'Alwān stated that it is weak and that it was weakened by Abu Dāwūd, Nasāi, and a group
(of other scholars). 
As-Sa'd: "it is not authentic."

Hadith #42: ("O son of Adam, as long as you call upon me and ask of me, I shall forgive
you....")
 Al-'Alwān: "it contains Līn (weakness). at-Tirmidhi in fact graded it hasan gharīb (and not
hasan sahīh). The ending of it is authentic in the hadīth of Abu Dharr reported by Muslim"
As-Sa'd: it contains Da'f (weakness)
